Web 2.0 wiki
Earlier this year, Paul Fairbrother and I presented at a couple of IB conferences on the use of emerging social media tools in education.
In preparing for these presentations we constructed a wiki using wikispaces. There are many other platforms, including mediawiki (the software originally written for wikipedia) and wetpaint, but this one appealed because of its simplicity and the fact that at the time they were giving away a number of free wikispaces to schools.
Initially, the intention was to keep the wiki to ourselves, but it soon became clear that others would benefit from having access, in order to find more examples of what we were talking about in the presentations themselves. So we decided to release it; first to conference participants, and now to readers of this blog.
Wherever possible, we have tried to give examples from IB schools, but occasionally we’ve had to go beyond this community in order to illustrate certain tools or concepts that aren’t yet fully established. As you can imagine, so much of what we refer to changes so quickly.
So, here it is: Web 2.0 on wikispaces.
Please feel to contribute your own examples and add further topics where appropriate - there is so much more to discuss.
